Chapter 40 - Can you two stop fighting?

"Eh? We're going to Gijutsu City?" Hector asks tilting his head, "Yes. Since we can't risk Celine's conditions." Zeolite said closing his eyes and drink the coffee on his hand, "then…who will tell Master we're going to Gijutsu City?" Hector asks again, "Who knows? We can rent a bird and send a letter we wrote to him." Zeolite replies opening his eyes to stares at Hector. "I guess…Theresa! Can we rent a bird here?" Hector asks turning to his right to Theresa.

Theresa thinks for a while, before answering, "I don't think we have that here…but, my father took care plenty of birds at home! We can go there after we finish our food!" Theresa tells, "That's a good news!" Hector said standing up on his seat, "Hector." Zeolite said staring at him, "oh, right." Hector grins nervously before sit back to where he sat down. "I'll be back, I have to use the bathroom." Theresa said before going off to the bathroom.

"Open your mouth!" Ashley said while feeding Celine, Celine obliged and open her mouth as Ashley put in the food with a spoon and pul it out when Celine close her mouth. "How is it?" Ashley grins asking for her opinion, Celine munch the food first, before answering her, "Delicious! What was the name again?" she asks.

"Carbonara!" Ashley replies, "I wonder how it looks…" Celine thinks out loud. "I can describe it-" Ashley was cut off by Zeolite, "no, no. Last time I tell you to describe what rice looks like, your description is terrible." He said remembering how she describes it, "Sticky white things, like maggots, I don't really know why people ate them, it doesn't look delicious to me." That's what Ashley said, and nearly make Zeolite puked.

"Oh yeah? I would like to hear your description, Mister perfect!" Ashley said challenging him, "Sure." Zeolite said closing his eyes, "The spaghetti is a little thick and has a creamy taste, it contains egg, hard cheese, cured pork, and black pepper." He explains, "So it's like that…" Celine nods in understanding, "boo!!! I don't understand what you're talking about!" Ashley mocks, booing. "Then, I would like to hear your description." Zeolite said smirking at her.

"Uhh, you two don't need to explain again…I understand…" Celine said nervously, but the two didn't hear her and is too busy fighting with each other. "Damn...these two." Hector sighs looking at the two who are having a headbutting challenge.

"Okay! So! Carbonara is like-" Ashley was once again interrupted by Zeolite, "You can't do it." He said with his eyes closed. "Stop interrupting me!" Ashley yelled annoyed, "Oops, did I annoy you?" Zeolite asks sarcastically. "Why you!" Ashley hiss in annoyance.

Ashley take a deep breath to calm her down, "it's like-" Zeolite whistles loudly, "can you do that later?!" Ashley asks tick mark appears on her head, "My bad." Zeolite said rolling his eyes, "It has-" Ashley was once again interrupted by Zeolite, he was clashing both of his swords making a displeasing sound. "Shut up! Let me finish my description!" Ashley shouts punching his side.

"Umm…Ashley you don't need to…" Celine said trying to break the fight, since without even seeing it, she can imagine the two is fighting now. "Don't be silly, please listen to my sacred description!" Ashley said proudly, "more like a trashy description." Zeolite snickered. "I didn't ask for your opinion!" Ashley yelled turning around at him, "Did you?" Zeolite asks, "Yes! I don't even remember asking you one!" Ashley said headbutting him once again.

"I'm back-" Theresa stop talking and look at those two fights. "I didn't even leave for 5 minutes, and they're already fighting again?" Theresa muttered sighing. Theresa walks closer to them, without them noticing, since they're too busy with each other. Hector looks at Theresa who is in front of them, she grabs their heads, pulling them away from each other, then smashed their heads to each other faces.

"Please behave." Theresa said dusting off her hands. 'Damn…I shouldn't mess with her…' Hector thoughts looking at the two who are laying flat on the ground, their souls floating above their bodies. 'She's scary.' Iris said chuckling, "She is sweet, but she can be scary sometimes." Hector said replying to Iris, "what did you say?" Theresa asks staring at him, Hector realizes that he's saying that out loud and quickly denies it. "No, no! Of course not! I'm talking about the old hag in my head!" He said grinning nervously. 'What? Old hag?' Iris asks blinking.

Theresa then helps Celine to eat, Hector is humming a song, Arkus is sleeping on Hector's head, while the two is slowly gaining back their consciousness. Hector stop humming and looks at the table, "We're done here, aren't we?" He asks looking at the empty plates. "Yeah. Let's go to my parent's house!" Theresa said excitedly.

"I will go to the train station…to check the train department." Zeolite said finishing his coffee, "me too." Ashley said avoiding being close with Theresa. "Then, be good you two." Theresa said wanting them to get along again. "Yeah, of course. He is my bestie." Ashley said wrapping her arm around him, enough to make them look 'friendly' "Yeah…" Zeolite nods. "Good! We'll be going!" Theresa said standing up as Hector follows, while guiding Celine.

The two stares at Theresa's back, as their silhouettes slowly gone, Ashley quickly pull her hand back, as Zeolite steps away from her, "why did you follow me?" He asks annoyed, "I didn't follow you! It's not my fault that I want to go to the train station!" Ashley said crossing her arms, looking away. "Tch, whatever you say." Zeolite said annoyed.

The two stand there for like 5 minutes, until the restaurant staff interrupts them, "umm. Sir? Ma'am? Are you two going to stand there all day?" They ask, "No! Of course not!" Ashley said turning to the staff, "o-okay…" The staff said scared and slowly leaving the two. "Let's go. I don't want to spend my time standing here." Zeolite said walking away, "Psh, who want to stand here anyway?" Ashley said rolling her eyes and follow him.
